PSA: if you wanna help support small Brooklyn busi PSA: if you wanna help support small Brooklyn businesses survive this long, cold, occasionally brilliantly sunny winter, @bondynyc is a new site that makes it super easy for folks to find and buy digital gift cards to local shops and restaurants. they’re running a matching campaign through February 2–pledging to donate $5k to faye’s elementary school if they’re able to sell $5k in gift card purchases—so if you want to support new york city public school kids and local businesses at the same time, this is one way to do both!
#ad strong, beautiful, and sustainable to boot, @d #ad strong, beautiful, and sustainable to boot, @dove deodorant is now available in a stainless-steel case that’s designed for folks to buy once and refill for a lifetime. in their words, @dove is on a mission to spark a #beautyrefillution, and in mine, this first product has me excited to see what else is to come. as one of the biggest beauty brands in the world, @dove’s commitment to reimagining how their signature products are packaged can make a major impact. in fact, this new product is part of @dove’s sustainability initiatives that reduce the use of virgin plastics by more than 20,500 tons a year. the new refillable case is proof positive that a simple, sustainable design can be accessible and beautiful, too. head to my stories to learn more about where you can buy the new refillable deodorant and join @dove’s #beautyrefillution.

When day comes, we ask ourselves, where can we fin When day comes, we ask ourselves, where can we find light in this never ending shade?
The loss we carry, a sea. We must wade. We've braved the belly of the beast.
We've learned that quiet isn't always peace.
In the norms and notions of what just is, isn't always justice.
And yet the dawn is ours before we knew it. Somehow we do it.
Somehow we've weathered and witnessed a nation that isn't broken, but simply unfinished. from @amandascgorman’s poem, “the hill we climb” // wearing pearls and sneaks and the biggest smile this tired face can muster for madam vice president.
“... Time itself is neutral; it can be used eith “... Time itself is neutral; it can be used either destructively or constructively. More and more I feel that the people of ill will have used time much more effectively than have the people of good will. We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the hateful words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people. Human progress never rolls in on wheels of inevitability; it comes through the tireless efforts of men willing to be co workers with God, and without this hard work, time itself becomes an ally of the forces of social stagnation. We must use time creatively, in the knowledge that the time is always ripe to do right. Now is the time to make real the promise of democracy and transform our pending national elegy into a creative psalm of brotherhood. Now is the time to lift our national policy from the quicksand of racial injustice to the solid rock of human dignity.” // From Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s Letter from Birmingham Jail, 1963. #MLK #MLKDay
